Homecoming [Invites]

[Saasha]

She chuckled as he pulled away from her hand, but didn't pursue him further. She listen quietly, not moving in the least. If fact her whole form seemed to be interwoven with boredom. "To tell you the honest truth? Yes, I do. But not for the reasons you think, I am afraid. I have my reasons, personally. But if you want the real reason you are going to have to talk to the origin. And currently she is not available." She waved her hand dismissively at him, with a careless sigh, as if scolding herself. Once again her the glow changed, this time to a light orange."You are fortunate I am not suppose to be rid of you. Your cock-eyed deductions are beginning to great my nerves. You are just like every other little twit I have come across. Grasping at the first little bit of information that seems plausible and running with it."

She ran one hand through her long, silken locks to push it out of her face, "To be perfectly honest my dear, it is you who is stalling. I am simply going by your actions as I was instructed. I have seen no reason to attack and so I haven't. You have engaged me in conversation and so I am returning the gesture." Kissira knew she was flip-flopping a bit, but it was nice to let herself have a bit of fun. She had missed these women. Perhaps she could use them in different ways other than mindsets a little later down the road...

As she pondered this, a voice spoke in her mind with a murmur of a chuckle, "I think we would all enjoy that."

Back in Kira's mind, Kissira had begun to inspect her nails in boredom. "Think what you wish. I am not at liberty to disscuss the topics at hand."

[Kira Yamato]

The orgin? How cute. She had each of these different sections tucked away and in file it seemed. ”Oh yes.” he said letting a guenie voice slip through. He didn't mean it of course. ”I'm oh so grateful that you are keeping me from doing what I brought him here to do.” he said. And in most of the runthroughs in his mind she did exactly that. Of course she would also have skills he was sure he hadn't seen yet, so there was also that factor. In most cases however even without those she ended up stopping anything from really happening. And even with her now, if he somehow did manage to finish Kira off she'd just find him. She didn't seem to like the idea of someone like him running around.

”I'm not stalling. Waiting might be a more appropriate word for it. I'm not stupid. Unlike that idoit over there, I wont fight a losing battle 'just because it's what I should do'.” he said explaining why he was in no rush to fight with her, but what was her excuse for it? She wanted Kira to kill him or something? And of course Kissira had all her little helpers on a leash. Honestly it was something. ”And are you just waiting for Kira to wake up?” he asked. What happened then they resumed fighting? He still had an advantage here. Unless Kissira had another little ability. Was that it? He wasn't quite sure.

[Saasha]

"Well I am certainly not waiting for your soggy ass to get a move on", she said sarcastically."C'mon Kira you have stuff you need to get done right? Well then get a move on. I can't do anything until you decide to stop monologuing and listening to 'how pretty your voice is'." She marked the air with two fingers of her hand, keeping the other resting around her waist. "Well... I could but that would defeat the purpose of my being here."

Suddenly, her 'quoting' hand crackled to life as pitch black lightning raced up and down her arm, forming a small sphere in her hand. The sphere elongated and grew in size until something akin to an English rapier rested comfortably in her palm. Having two razor egdes running down its length, it was a touch wider than a standard rapier. Perfect for stabbing and slashing. She may not have had it on her person, but in the mind it was always with her. What was a warrior without their weapon of choice after all? "So then. What is your choice?"

[Kira Yamato]

Kira just rolled his eyes. So it seemed an impass had been reached. He wasn't about to do something stupid to get himself killed and she in turn was not willing to back down. On top of that she was waiting on him to do something that wasn't going to happen given everything. As the sword became visible in her hand he put a bit more distance between them. Too make things worse Kira was just about to get back into the swing of things. Sure he could knock him against the wall again, but doing so was liable to get him killed. This whole thing was a bother.

He eyed the sword as he shook his head. Wasn't going to happen. He was tempted to just disappear and pick this up another time. However even then she might be around. He sighed. Just a bother all of it. And the worst part was he couldn't do anything about it. That was the irriating part in all of this. He had to sit there and let her protect him.

[Saasha]

Getting no response, she rolled her eyes and twirled her rapier between her fingers. So that was how he was going to be. He wasn't going to budge, she couldn't attack, and they were both stuck in a stalemate. How irritating. It was apparent that he had no intention of trying to get to Kira while she was here... Fuck this was irritating.

Just then, Kissira's thoughts filtered in her mind. A broad smile slowly spread itself across the Adarean's face as the flicks of her blade ceased. She began to chuckle. Lowly at first, but it quickly grew into an all out laugh. "Aww yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin'about!" A flash of light green exploded from her core. Not bright enough to blind the other half, but still bright in it's own right. No sooner had the flash faded when Kissira sprung from her planted spot, rapier dragging sparks across the ground as she approached, a ridiculously big smile on her face, though her eyes were narrowed in focus. Focus on her next kill. Oh she was going to enjoy this!

[Kira Yamato]

Kira frowned as she began to laugh. He didn't see what she would be doing that for here. Why was she jumping through so many personalities. It was annoying. He narrowed his eyes at the flash, but when it cleared she was moving forward. So she finally wanted to dance? Well he'd have one shot to pull this off so he better make sure he should do it right. He was quick to keep the distance between them. He wondered if she was trying to get him to make the first move or if it was something else..In the same manner she held her weapon he now held his pointed at her, but no more. A smile on his face.

”So I see you finally got tired of waiting. Well then, I'm waiting.” he said calmly. Now it was just a matter. He continued moving around to the spot he wanted waiting for her to begin. Exactly where he wanted now. He narrowed his eyes. Come on Kissira make your move. He was waiting for it. When she finally did move he would fire off a single shot.

[Saasha]

"You know it, kid! Been a long time since I've come out to play!" she laughed as she raced for him, golden showers of sparks flying from the tip of her blade as it gouged the ground. But, with a quick flick of her blade and a quick ping, the bullet fell to the floor, cut cleaning in two- never slowing her pace. When she was close enough, scoffingly, she drove a kick straight for his gun hand to knock it to the side and a moment later let her blade fly for his chest. A viscous stab that twisted as it went; the strands of electricity never once faltering as the blade flew. "Duck duck goose. You're it!" "Shoot again, kid. I dare ya."

-----Meanwhile in Kissira's mind-----

The silver-haired woman was shaking her head in one of her palms, suddenly remembering why she didn't let this mindset out that often...

[Kira Yamato]

Kira had honestlyn expected nothing less from that distance. At least this wouldn't be a total waste. Fortunatly he himself could at least keep track of it with his eyes. As she approached he tried to keep the dropped down shotting a few shot dodging under the stab unloading four shots in her direction before rolling away. Three would do some actually damage, one just lightly grazed her. He was quick to regain her position. ”Aren't you a little old for duck, duck goose?” he asked in turn.

[Saasha]

"How old do you think I am?" She asked rhetorically. The bullets did nothing to slow her down. In fact, no sooner had the bullets pierced her skin than the wounds healed and her left hand clinched, as if she were holding something. She looked down to the gun, with an excited smile. "Sorry sweety. I don't react to pain anymore." She flung her clinched hand forward in his direction. And from her grasp... flew the bullets with as much speed as they had been shot . But this time, that electricity sparked from them, arcing from bullet to bullet. At the same time, she was right behind them. Her blade making no sound as she swung for the offensive weapon.

[Kira Yamato]

He smiled. Perfect. He had been expecting something honestly, but this was just perfect. Behind Kissira she'd hear a little grunt from behind her before she could make a counter to his last move. The last shot was never meant for her. Still it had missed it's intended target. Sort of. It cut through his good arm near the wrist. ”Next time you may want to pay attention to where you're standing,” he added before dropping a few gernades setting off a smoke gernade putting more distance between them. Better not to tempt fate.

[Saasha]

Suddenly, she vanished. No aura trail, no after image. She just... vanished. A ghostly voice echoed throughout the area, "Next time, remember who you are dealing with!" Kira would feel a pain in his chest and if he looked down, he would see why. A four inch in diameter black spike protruding from his chest. Kissira's aura was unique. It was intangible, able to pass through solid objects and even intermingle with other aura's without being detected... until she wanted it to be. This was not a demonstration of her control over the Force. This was a demonstration of her own, personal abilities.

Without time to wait, the hundreds of black wisps that had surrounded them both before, sprung to life now solid and just as menacing and cold as the one in his chest was. And all of the were streaking towards him from all sides to take his life.

Meanwhile, a warm hand slid over the fallen Kira's forehead. His arm would close up and the bullet would be pushed out of the wound as fall to the ground. If he could look up, he would be greeted by a soft smile and kindly eyes that glowed with a familiar blue tint. A dome-like barrier would fly up around them as she softly brushed his skin to soothe any worries he might have had. "After this, the fight shall be yours, Kira. He will not leave you be until then."

[Kira Yamato]

He quickly looked down to find the source of it. Figures. He rolled his eyes. A sword appearing in hand. Like she was the only one who could bring stuff into this place. He was quick to move away from it putting a hand to his chest. Nothing vital, but he wouldn't even be allowed the time to recover as the real assult began. He had missed his shot because Kira had moved. How annoying. Now he was going to pay for it and he knew it. At the very least he had pissed her off. A small victory, though not much more then that. His real goal here was long out of his reach.

He quickly backed away from the approaching wisps as he quickly rolled away and tried to deflect what he could, but there was just to many, for everyone one he avoided it seemed four more came to take it's place. Same for any he actually managed to sever. And he was losing ground. It was only a matter of time before they got to him. He dodged, but not quickly enough as one scraped him. Didn't she realize he'd just return later? Surely she had to. And what then? Did she mean to fight this battle for him every time?

Kira did look up, but his focus wasn't on her for long at least. He brushed back. He knew her well enough to know what was really going on. He pushed himself up before finally looking back to her. He wasn't even sure if he could shoot out of the barrier. ”Kissira.” he said slowly his eyes drifting back over her shoulder. He knew she was toying with him. ”Please.....stop. I'm okay. So theres really no need to go on hurting him.” he said. His other half had hurt him so Kis was looking to hurt him in return. She was wanting it to happen. Kira had trained with her enough to know when she was serious and he just wanted this to end, quickly. It seemed it couldn't be solved with words, but that didn't have to mean the other had to suffer. His other self on the other hand had finally been impaled through the shoulder pinned to the wall. His fun pinned behind him and his sword hand unable to really move. Now he just had to wait.

[Saasha]

"Then you may want to look away dear. I will explain when it is over...." She looked back over her shoulder to the other half, "If he figures a way out of this that is." With that, she took Kira's head into her arms, using her own body to block his view as the remaining black spikes that had not plunged into the ground or dissipated and surrounded the incapacitated man. She highly doubted that Kira would take enjoyment out of seeing one bearing his own resemblance die.

The blue from her eyes faded to give way to those familiar, bright silver irises, gazing down at him gently. "We will have one more lesson before we leave here." The hundreds of spikes poised themselves over the other half's body. "How to heal a wound like that." They descended mercilessly into his flesh.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira looked over her shoulder as well a sad look in his eyes, before she blocked his view. He blinked up at her. He was obviously a little confused. It was then that she lightly wrapped him in a hug. Of course not in that way, but it still caught him by surprise. ”What are you doing?” he asked slowly. However often times he wondered if he would die in a similar manner or not. Not because he wanted to, but because of how much fighting he constantly found himself involved in, he slowly let his eyes close as she spoke. No matter, her intent. ”Thank you.” he said, his eyes betraying a bit of his inner feelings, as his other half faded.

He took a step back from her after that. ”How long.....were you here?” he asked quietly. He didn't want her to side step the question. At the very least she owed him what all of this was, but that was also important to him. It was why he hadn't told her in the first place. He honestly needed to know how much of the information that his other had disclosed that she had heard. He slowly looked away. He knew she too was someone who had something similar done to her, but even still....He needed to know.

Kissira let him go, her long sleeves fluttering with the slightest of movements as he pulled away. By this time the effects that her mindsets had had on her had completely faded, giving way to Kissira's true personality once more. She folded her hands to let her sleeve cover them, a calm, calculating expression making the gentle smile from before fade into obscurity. Cool seriousness it could be called.

”How long.....were you here?”

"Long enough." Every spear, every wisp, even thing that would tell she had been there vanished as she spoke. When he looked away, she wondered if it as because of the pain of the past, or if he was ashamed. Either way she didn't particularly care. It was something that he was going to have to get over- hard as it was, she knew, but the fact still remained.

She watched him for a moment- watching his body language. his eyes, his aura. It didn't take a genius to tell that he was troubled. "Are you so uncertain of yourself that a few sullied words spoke with the sole purpose to unnerve you have stricken their target?"
